Selena Gomez Reveals Secret Kidney Transplant

Selena Gomez revealed this morning that the reason she has been somewhat less present, both on social media and in public life, during the past few months is that she has been struggling with further complications from lupus. The singer posted to Instagram images of her in the hospital before and after getting a kidney transplant. The donor was actress Francia Raisa, who Gomez describes in the post as her “beautiful friend.” Gomez went public about her Lupus diagnosis in October of 2015, revealing that she had spent time in rehab receiving treatment for the disease.
